17 IX 1939 - Russian Agression on Poland

[ArtieBob]

First, I am not Polish, but from the USA with about 50% German heritage. IMHO, aggression against Poland by both Germany and the USSR is well documented and not just Polish "black propaganda". It seems clear that the agreement signed by Nazi Germany and the USSR just prior to the beginning of fighting in 1939 divided Poland amongst the aggressors. The USSR apparently just waited until the Nazis had destroyed most of the Polish capability, in order to minimize it's losses. After WWII most of the German diplomatic source documents, the type which is often hidden from public view for a very long time, was made public and it seems clear that the attack on Poland from both sides was indeed agression, not in any manner defensive preemptive action. I assure you I have no political favoritism towards any of the three countries involved; Germany, Russia or Poland.

Best Regards
